Remember last fall when I bought my wool pressing mat? Actually, it was a saddle pad for a horse. They are the exact same material, a half inch thick and 100% wool. I bought one from State Line Tack.
This one measures a whopping 30 by 30. There was a coupon code for a first purchase so I got this shipped for about $30.
My only regret? I wish I had bought two to begin with. I just purchased a second one to completely cover my ironing table.
It was too thick to cut with my rotary cutter, but I did use it to “score” a line and then finished the job with my big batting scissors.
Much better! They are just sitting next to each other. I’ll use them like this for a while and then decide if I need to connect them somehow.
Have a great day!
PS Some people have mentioned a smell associated with these. I liken it to wet mittens. I noticed it for awhile with the first one, but it did go away in time. No smell transferred to my fabric. I notice it even less with the second pad. No affiliation.
It seems that I get most tired of a project about 2/3s of the way through and this was no exception. I haven’t touched it in ages. Encouraged by my progress on the last hand piecing UFO I finished, I picked this up again. Here I am now.
